Description:
The 2004 Grebennikoff Fire Engine Red Syrah is produced from grapes grown by our friend, Dale Ricci, at his Carneros vineyard in the southern Sonoma Valley. With rich fruit aromas, luscious mouth-feel and soft elegant tannins, this Syrah is destined to become the Merlot alternative for those seeking rich, round, well balanced yet softer style wines.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
